Greg Ball’s Homeland Security Hearing Live

The state Senate has been livestreaming Sen. Greg Ball’s controversial hearing today in Manhattan on the state’s emergency preparedness in advance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Ball, head of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, Veterans and Military Affairs, said the hearing will “assess the state of security in New York, to determine what has been done, as well as what needs to be done to improve infrastructure and fix any problems that are currently impeding New York’s security.”

It has been knocked by Senate Democrats for inviting some controversial speakers on Islam and immigration.
